About

Prime Weekend Stories is about creative time well spent: the small projects, curious experiments, and satisfying pastimes that can fill an open stretch of a weekend. It is for readers who like to make things without needing a perfect result.

What we cover

Our subjects include paper projects, drawing, approachable making, playful experiments, and ways to enjoy an unhurried afternoon. We favour ideas that begin with a clear prompt and ordinary materials, rather than specialist equipment or a long list of supplies.

Who it is for

This is for beginners, returning makers, and anyone who would rather try a small idea than wait for a grand plan. You can follow a suggestion closely or change it to suit your time, materials, and mood.

How we approach projects

We explain the point of a project, what to gather, and where a first attempt may go differently than expected. A result that looks a little wonky can still be a good afternoon; we aim to make the process useful and enjoyable, not promise a flawless finish.
